Hailee Steinfeld Covers 'Teen Vogue' October 2013

On being a teen in an adult world: “Whether I’m a bit of an old soul or not, I am who I am, and that doesn’t change, whether I’m with adults or with my friends. When I’m in this adult world, I get to play dress-up and be a big girl and meet older people. It’s the best of both worlds.”

On kissingDouglas Boothfor Romeo & Juliet: “It was one of the best elements of our film. The whole story happens over the course of just a few days, and we played along with that. It was very truthful.”

On fashion critics: “It confuses me that someone would take the time out of their day to criticize somebody for what they’re wearing. Regardless of who says what, I wear what I wear because I love it.”
